Cobble, you just dont understand. like cgar said, why is the biggest perk of the park closed off to adults with no kids? adults WITH kids can enjoy the water? that’s not fair. it’s not ONLY FOR THE CHILDREN. it’s ONLY FOR PEOPLE WITH CHILDREN AND THEIR CHILDREN. don’t you see where the problem is? it’s flat out discrimination and i find it terribly offensive. this is a PUBLIC park paid for by TAXES! most of which comes from people without children. ugh i dont know why im letting this issue get to, perhaps because it involves a water park. grrrr.
“there are many successful companies with well paid employees with benefits and non-unionized.”
Yes, there are. There are also unscrupulous companies whose officials would (and do) blatantly abuse worker rights and safety to make a buck. An honest and effective union is perhaps the best mechanism workers have to protect themselves, their families and their livelihoods.
Cobble, I have no problem with kids’ only playgrounds. Just give me an adults only water park!!!!! (And I wouldn’t mind a giant slide or a jungle gym either, while you’re at it.)
Yes, Dave, but not everyone works for tech companies. Unions are necessary to advocate for a living wage, and workers’ rights, especially in industries where, if left up to management and stock holders, workers would still be toiling like slaves.
Granted, many of the unions have gone beyond that to being blood suckers themselves, and some unions do have too much power and make absurd demands, but the fact of the matter is that they provide some checks and balances to a system that really doesn’t care about those below, who make the upper management rich.
Not hyperbole at all. I know many people who live in New Jersay, and they are seething in anger at the corruption that takes place, much of it through the public-service union rackets.
The New York Post has been doing an excellent set of stories on how this abuse works. For instance, HALF of the LIRR conductors are now retiring with pensions OVER $100K per year.
I play cards once a week with a group of guys who are predominantly public-service workers. Much of the conversation is devoted to how one can pad one’s salary so as to retire with an enhanced pension.

I just washed out my coffee mug in the bathroom… I think I’m coated in poo mist now.
CGar, I can see Biff charging you a fee rent the Champs to allow you entrance into the water park

Cobble – Because we want to play in the water features!
